Jay-Z and Alicia Keys couldn’t contain their enthusiasm for New York to one song, so the pair have decided to team up again for a sequel to their hometown anthem. Keys will include “Empire State of Mind Part 2″ on December’s The Element of Freedom. The sequel will feature a new verse from Jay, a rep from Keys confirmed to MTV News.

The Hype Williams-directed video for “Empire State of Mind” debuted Friday, and Keys described it as a masterpiece. “The way it’s put together, it is so New York. You totally get it and understand it. It’s artistic. It’s hard. It’s beautiful. It’s, like, everything,” she said. “And definitely getting to be in the middle of Times Square on my piano [with] Jay, representing our home city, is a triumph. It was unbelievable.”

You’ve haven’t proved or made any validations regarding your argument about electronics…All you’ve said was that Asians are more skilled than Americans at mass producing electronics which is FALSE….

You were wrong in alluding that SKILL has anything to do with Mass producing…I told you that Anyone can mass produce….The skill is in the physics and engineering of Products which YES asians are more skilled at.

The reason things are made in china because its CHEAPER to make there not cause they are not smarter…I mean You need to enter a business course and learn these things…

Based on what?….demand?…or just cause Hov’s a good guy?

You’re going to give them more money and still pay for all their expenses?

^^

you’re acting as though i’m saying they should be earning 10 – 20 grand a night. if they’d made double what they did it wouldnt have put a dent in anyone’s pocket.

and what could their expenses be that cost so much damn money? i doubt niggas were fine dining and renting out villas and shit. and i bet they came out of pocket themselves if that were true.

AGAIN…on what Financial basis should he have paid them more money?….according to what?….stop thinking like a dude on the street and step into an office….Their per diem was already Determined by their worth which was according to the numbers…

You just don’t give niggas more money just because…thats not sound busines…

Food, travel, clothing, alcohol, housing, drugs….They got all this free….Paid for by the company or Def Jam….use business logic…

all i’m saying is those dudes could have gotten more IF the money could be spared. the same way i’d negotiate a raise if i saw my boss was making 300X my salary.

The YG”s getting clowned on now and Beans is too stupid to realize he’s fucking people’s money up with his bitchassness… Putting these dudes in a
worser negotiating position .. Who ‘gon pay more than 600 now.. Beans is a Crab/Bitch for real.

but you got it, b.

my problem with a lot of these rap dudes is they do not have a work ethic
they want shit handed to them
it may not be their fault when they’re kids
cuz they grew up with absentee pops and welfare mom
but how can you tell your son to man up when you running
around crying like a little bitch
these dudes foul
also,
if your boss is making 300x more
maybe – just maybe –
he deserves 300x more
my assistant had the audacity to ask for a pay raise the other day
talking bout if she can get one or a end of the year bonus
then i said no
she asked if her performance did not warrant it
i told her i do not see why she ‘should’ get a raise in this economy
if you’re someone’s assistant making $25hr
shut the fuck up and accept it (i wasn’t that harsh)
then she said that i’m getting a pay raise

that’s when i had to close the door and explain to her the difference
in her pay and my pay
i’m basically paid commission – not salary -
so if i don’t take on cases… i don’t make any money
she gets paid regardless of season or weather

Damn that’s some real shit…even though Young Chris the only one attempted to do shit now…still one of the most valid points in this whole thing.

The only thing that matters in all of this is the accusation of Jay calling the feds on Beans at a show. The fact that Beans said
1. No one else can dis Jay
2. He still love em, just wanna talk, foot prints fadin blah blah blah lets me know for a fact Beans is lying or doesn’t know for sure. Nobody would still reach out to a nigga if he had police/Feds called on him especially a gangsta like Beans is or supposed to be.
